Themes in greek tragedy are the nature of divinity and the relations of human beings to the gods.
Yes the story death of a salesman is a tragedy because it shows the sequence as being tragic and horrific because he kills himself in a car wreck. By that definition, many of Shakespeare's tragedies cannot be considered tragedy as they do not conform to Aristotle's definition of tragedy. Hamlet, considered his finest, breaks many of Aristotle's rules of tragedy. Surely we move on from purist classical definitions to embrace new modes of thinking. Miller's exploration of the plight of a common man is a Romantic concept in considering the common man worthy of study. Is not the common man as capable of tragedy as kings and queens?
Nowadays, people consider the death of an 11-year old boy (as Shakespeare's son Hamnet did in 1596) to be a huge tragedy, but in Shakespeare's time the death of children was a common occurrence. Shakespeare's sister Anne died when she was 8. It was sad, sure, but not a great tragedy.
